I am trying to cross compile a small rust application for the RPI. I am cross compiling because compiling directly on the PI takes way too long and it hits 75C.
I followed various instructions, but what I ended up doing is this:
Install "armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf" target with rustup
Download rpi tools from here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools
Add the "tools/arm-bcm2708/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/" folder to PATH
Add ".cargo/config" file with:
[target.armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf]
linker = "arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc"
run "cargo build --target armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf --release"
scp the file to the RPI
chmod +x the_file
do "./the_file"
I get bash: ./the_file: No such file or directory
Yes, I am indeed in the right directory.
So this is the output from "file":
ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically
linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32,
with debug_info, not stripped
I'm not experienced enough with this sort of stuff to determine if the binary that I produced is suitable to be run on an RPI3 B.
Did I produce the correct "type" of binary?
P.S. I am running DietPi distro on the PI. It is based on debian if that's of any relevance.
So I solved this by cheating. I found https://github.com/rust-embedded/cross which took about 30 seconds to get going and now I can cross compile to pretty much anything. I highly recommend it!
The error message "No such file or directory" is not about the your executable but about the dynamic libraries linked to it which are missing from the target system.
To find out which libraries your executable needs you have to run the following command.
ldd /usr/bin/lsmem
This will output something like this
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffc87f1000)
libsmartcols.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsmartcols.so.1 (0x00007fe82fe71000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fe82fc7f000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fe82fedd000)
Now you have to check that all this libraries are available on your system. rust-cross probably uses the correct linker for your target so that is probably the reason this works with it. To modify the linker see https://stackoverflow.com/a/57817848/5809980

I am trying to do profiling of the code written in C++ with the target Architecture RISC-V. The code has been cross-compiled using RISC-V GNU Toolchain. My executable is unit_tests "ELF 64-bit LSB executable, UCB RISC-V, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked,nterpreter /lib/ld-linux-riscv64-lp64d.so.1, for GNU/Linux 4.15.0, with debug_info, not stripped" this information is retrieved using the file command.
What I am trying to do is the profiling of this using gprof. But to do the gprof gmon.out needs to be generated, to generate gmon.out the executable should be run first. I cannot run the binary elf of other architecture in some different architecture. I need a suggestion for this on which emulator or simulator does this for me or I can run on?
I have tried installing qemu using the follwing link:
https://www.google.com/url?q=https://risc-v-getting-started-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/linux-qemu.html&sa=D&source=hangouts&ust=1597422417473000&usg=AFQjCNERr6pHYmj0SU6an3WkBRGQI52aTw
but not able to successfully install it.
Also have tried with spike but got "bad synccall" error. Any leads how can I resolve this issue.
I solved this issue using qemu in user mode. Following the instructions in the below link:
Manual-qemu-user
Where I could run the binary elf generated for target RISC-V, which I could run on x86 Linux machine.
I am trying to make my software available on macOS and in my toolchain I use ldd -r MyModel.so to verify is everything went well but I can't really find anything conclusive on macOS that would have the same behaviour.
otool or nm seems the two directions to go but I am not sure how to be sure what options would behave the same. Or is there another tool ?
ldd uses ld to load executable files, and recursively loads
dynamically-linked libraries. So using ldd requires being on the target system
(e.g., Linux). Thus, ldd cannot be used for ELF files on macOS.
Assuming that the question is about analyzing Mach-O files on macOS, I do not know of any tool that works for Mach-O files as ldd does for ELF files.
Both otool and nm perform a static analysis.
A possibility is:
otool -L /usr/bin/true
Relevant:
MacOSX: which dynamic libraries linked by binary?
Inspect and get binary from ELF file on MAC
As part of trying to build a gcc 8.2 cross-compiler (targeting ia64-hp-hpux11.31), I'm running into problems building binutils 2.31.1. The build actually seems to complete just fine. I end with a bunch of binaries (ar, objdump, strings, etc.), but some important ones like as and ld are missing. I think I configured binutils properly, explicitely enabling ld and disabling gold: ../binutils-2.31.1/configure --target=ia64-hp-hpux11.31 --enable-ld=yes --enable-gold=no.
I scanned through the stdout + stderr output of the entire build process, but didn't find any hints. The only suspicous thing is that configure outputs: checking whether we are cross compiling... no. Shouldn't that say yes, since I'm building for cross compilation? If my understanding of how --build, --host and --target work is correct, shouldn't that imply cross compilation?
I should note this is my first time trying to build a cross-compiler. I should also note that my Linux "machine" is Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS under the Windows Subsystem for Linux, perhaps this has something to do with it.
My config.log
See the configure script at line 3744:
ia64*-**-hpux*)
# No ld support yet.
noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs gdb libgui itcl ld"
;;
That causes the ld directory to be skipped during the build.
You should have an assembler though, built as gas/as-new (after make install that will get installed as ia64-hp-hpux11.31-as).
I have downloaded Bellhop, which is an underwater acoustic simulator written in Fortran. It can be found here with the Makefile.
Question 1: I would like to know if it is possible to compile Fortran code, including everything needed, so a user without gfortran installed, can run it.
I have read here the following:
static linking
This section does not apply to Windows users, except for Cygwin users with gcc4-4.3.2-2 or later.
gfortran is composed of two main parts: the compiler, which creates the executable program from your code, and the library, which is used when you run your program afterwards. That explains why, if gfortran is installed in a non-standard directory, it may compile your code fine but the executable may fail with an error message like library not found. One way to avoid this (more ideas can be found on the binaries page) is to use the so-called "static linking", available with option -static gfortran then put the library code inside the program created, thus enabling it to run without the library present (like, on a computer where gfortran is not installed). Complete example is:
gfortran -static myfile.f -o program.exe
Reading this, I suppose that it is possible to do what I'm asking but I'm not very familiarized with fortran and makefiles. I don't understand this:
put the library code inside the program created
Question 2: How can I put the library code inside the program? Where can I find the library? What does "inside the program" means?
I'm running OSX 10.9.4 and gfortran
I solved my problem about compiling Fortran code with gfortran using static libraries.
As #M.S.B. said, using static-libgfortran worked for me under MacOS.
If somebody is having issues with linking the libquadmath.0.dylb library, remove libquadmath.0.dylib and libquadmath.dylib from /usr/local/gfortran/lib/
This doest the trick. Further information can be found here
I think the meaning of the bold part is actually
gfortran then puts the library code inside the
program created
That means using -static should be enough, there is no additional step. Just be advised you will need a static version of all the libraries that you link with.
I know this is very old tracker, but maybe somebody will be still interested in the solution that works.
Let's say we have code:
! fort_sample.f90
program main
write (*,*) 'Hello'
stop
end
First, compile the stuff:
gfortran -c -o fort_sample.o fort_sample.f90
Then, link stuff
ld -o ./fort_sample -no_compact_unwind \
-arch x86_64 -macosx_version_min 10.12.0 \
-lSystem \
/usr/local/gfortran/lib/libgfortran.a \
/usr/local/gfortran/lib/libquadmath.a \
/usr/local/gfortran/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin16/6.3.0/libgcc.a \
fort_sample.o
You can execute it
./fort_sample
Hello
You can notice that quadmath is no longer there
> otool -L fort_sample
fort_sample:
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1238.51.1)
I guess this is what you were looking for in a first place. No removing dylibs, no symbolic links, etc.
The current version of the option is -static-libgfortran. This means that the Fortran specific libraries of gfortran will be included into the executable. These are libraries are automatically found for a good installation of gfortran. This should produce an executable that should run on other computers with the same OS, even if that computer doesn't have gfortran installed. This option likely doesn't statically link all libraries, so there is some risk that some other shared library used on your computer won't be available on the other computer.
I receive this error when linking -lboost_thread into my executable on google Native Client (pepper_19):
nacl_sdk/pepper_19/toolchain/mac_x86_glibc/x86_64-nacl/usr/lib/libboost_thread.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
I compiled boost according to the instructions at naclports here: http://code.google.com/p/naclports/wiki/InstallingSDL (except using the boost library directory instead of SDL... I also used this same process to correctly compile NaCl zlib library)
cd naclports/src/libraries/boost_1_47_0
export NACL_PACKAGES_BITSIZE=32; ./nacl-boost_1_47_0.sh
export NACL_PACKAGES_BITSIZE=64; ./nacl-boost_1_47_0.sh
this generates the libboost_thread.a file and puts it them in the /usr/lib directories of my NACL installation. I thought maybe somehow I mistakenly built a wrong type of library for linking with NaCl. Is there a way to check this and/or fix it?
I tried:
cd naclports/src/out/repository-x86_64/boost_1_47_0/bin.v2/libs/thread/build/darwin-4.2.1/release/link-static/threading-multi
nm libboost_thread.a
and this yielded:
libboost_thread.a(thread.o):
0000000000052d08 s EH_frame0
000000000004f50c s GCC_except_table100
000000000004f534 s GCC_except_table101
000000000004f574 s GCC_except_table102
000000000004f5c0 s GCC_except_table103
000000000004f600 s GCC_except_table104
000000000004f64c s GCC_except_table105

000000000004f6d8 s GCC_except_table107
.
.
.
.
etc, etc..
However then I ran:
nacl_sdk/pepper_19/toolchain/mac_x86_glibc/bin/x86_64-nacl-nm libboost_thread.a
and got:
__.SYMDEF SORTED: File format not recognized
nacl_sdk/pepper_19/toolchain/mac_x86_glibc/bin/x86_64-nacl-nm: thread.o: File format not recognized
nacl_sdk/pepper_19/toolchain/mac_x86_glibc/bin/x86_64-nacl-nm: once.o: File format not recognized
And finally. I ran:
file pthread/thread.o
pthread/thread.o: Mach-O 64-bit object x86_64
however the same command on a zlib object file results in:
ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1, not stripped
I would appreciate advice on building a correctly cross-compiled NaCl libboost_thread.a
Thank you.
Some libraries in NaCl ports can only be built on linux. So you have to either find why boost decides to use system ar instead of x86_64-nacl-ar or install VM with linux where they are the same.
